Over the weekend, FI and I had a Skype meeting with our photographer. While we agree on most of the day’s important events, we slightly disagree on the topic of photographer’s coverage on reception pictures.

What I would want covered for reception photos = additional $500.FI: guest pictures are truly enough.My take: I love candid shots of everything!FI: “I can prop up my camcorder on a tripod or get one of those Zoom recorder. My dad can take good pictures.” (The Zoom, which by the way awesome for recording live performances, with high audio quality)Me: “But I want professional pictures of our first dance! (more so than cake cutting)” — which the photographer & assistant would do, when we enter at 6 pm, then leave. FI: If we’re making them stay until 8 pm, then the whole reception would feel rushed just because we want pictures taken for each programme. I want to relax when it comes to party. Do you think your brother wants to be professionally photographed for his emotional performance? Me: …

While he does make a good point, I gave FI a mischievious smile and said, we’ll know closer to the date!

Definitely hire the photographer 🙂 yiu want your grand entrance captured, father daughter and mother son dance, garter and bouquet toss,cake cutting and all the fun.everyone is having 🙂 here’s some moments I cherish 🙂

@Firemansgirl: Love the kiss photo in the first one! It’s gorgeous!! Aw, and I love the pictures of you in your dances too. You look so happy! 🙂

Hm, if only I could convince my FI about the extra two hours for hiring the photographer and her assistant! His idea of a compromise is to gather pictures from the digital wedding album (which is part of the package) and print them on our 5th year wedding anniversary. It’s funny because he still talks photography costs in roof dollars. (We need a new roof)
